Getting vaccinated is an important milestone in protecting yourself and others from COVID-19 and finally ending the pandemic. When you get vaccinated, you'll receive a COVID-19 vaccine card that shows the date you were vaccinated, as well as which vaccine you received.

Use of Johnson & Johnson’s JNJ -0.57% vaccines could resume as soon as this weekend after U.S. health regulators lifted the pause on the shots Friday evening. J&J and regulators plan to add language to the vaccine’s label warning of a risk of blood clots.

DOING THIS COULD HELP YOU FEEL BETTER AFTER GETTING YOUR COVID VACCINE.

“This should be reassuring, because it’s in our country’s interest to vaccinate as many people as possible, yet the FDA has acted promptly to pause until we know more,” says Vivek Cherian, an internal medicine physician at the University of Maryland health-care system.

Dr. Vivek Cherian, an internal medicine physician in Baltimore, said to pay attention to your body post-vaccine.

"Instead of taking away confidence from other vaccines, this should actually inspire further confidence in the oversight of these vaccines and definitely should not deter individuals scheduled for either Pfizer and Moderna vaccines to go through with their appointments," Dr. Vivek Cherian, an internal-medicine physician in Baltimore, told Insider.

Dr. Vivek Cherian M.D., an internal medicine physician, tells Bustle that out of hundreds of patients with COVID he’s treated in the past year, only two had this symptom.

“A fairly common side effect after getting vaccinated is developing a fever, which can lead to fluid loss and dehydration via sweating,” internal medicine physician Dr. Vivek Cherian M.D.

Dr. Cherian says you should drink plenty of fluids and make sure you’re getting enough rest.

"Your immune response essentially dictates your side effects, so if you're immunocompromised, you may not necessarily be having as many side effects, but you should still absolutely get vaccinated," Cherian said.

"Physicians suspect (though we actually don't know for certain!) that the reason likely has to do with estrogen," says Dr. Cherian.

"Because there's a possibility that over the counter pain relievers, such as Tylenol or Advil, might weaken your immune system's response to vaccines, it's best not to take them before you get your shot," Baltimore-based internal medicine physician Vivek Cherian, MD, told Eat This, Not That! Health.

If you have a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine, however, Baltimore-based internal medicine physician, Dr. Vivek Cherian, says that anaphylaxis can occur.
